5 Forest Dr, Catonsville, MD 21228

Description

At 102 years old, this beautifully maintained Catonsville grand lady has the kind of classic details that make you want to look around and stay awhile. The living spaces flow gracefully from one to the next, with columns, built-in bookshelves, beautiful moldings, gleaming hardwood floors, and a handsome brick fireplace. Glass doorknobs add one more lovely touch. There’s a generous living room for relaxing and a separate dining room ready for Sunday dinner or a full house of friends.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like its own retreat, with a huge bedroom, an equally generous bathroom, and an extra room currently used as an office—perfect for a dressing room, workspace, or whatever suits you. Two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level give everyone room to settle in. The lower level is ready for your ideas and offers the opportunity to create even more living space.
Outside, enjoy the comfortable deck—and that charming front porch, complete with its quirky mailbox. It’s an inviting place to sip coffee, bring out dessert, watch the neighborhood go by, and wave to familiar faces.
The location brings its own kind of everyday magic: 37 places to eat and drink are just a short distance away. Grab a coffee or pastry, meet friends for a craft cocktail, or choose from Indian, Mediterranean, Chinese, Italian, Maryland seafood, crab cakes, steak, pizza, and dessert. The Catonsville Library, parks, recreation, and commuter routes are nearby, too.
A one-of-a-kind home with a gracious layout, memorable details, and a place in the heart of the community. HGTV cameras could set up shop here—but you may be happiest right at home.
